In this session, we were asked to deconstruct and scamp out a series of images we'd picked for analysis. For the task, we were asked to create a monochrome image that had a distinct line of sight. I started off looking at public transport, but I got pretty stalled of it (since I was covering a similar topic in a visual communication brief) - so I narrowed it down slightly and started looking specifically at the mice on the underground you usually see running around, since I figured they have a pretty interesting view of the tube system
I found working in the varying degrees whilst keeping a sense of depth difficult, but I think I managed to pull it off. I think i've definitely managed to capture a sense of looking "upwards" from the lines, which is a different view from what I'm used to drawing. A criticism would be it perhaps needs a bit more foreshortening to make the distance between the rats and the platform seem bigger.
I definitely feel like i'm starting to become more confident in composing images now as a result of these tasks. These are things I would have perhaps struggled with prior to consciously thinking about them but I'm definitely thinking more about how a scene communicates as a whole, and not just the individual elements any more.
